A diagnostic test on decimals for upper primary aligned with the Australian Curriculum. Best used as an assessment before beginning a unit/program on decimals. The third page is an individual rubrics assessment with the Australian Curriculum Standards aligned with each question from the test.

This is a collection of great Arithmetic and Reasoning revision support to help Year 6 in their preparations for the upcoming SATs.
Arithmetic revision:-
These are sets of arithmetic starters which I use daily with my current Year 6 class. I call these ‘Terrific Tens’ and we do them for 10 minutes a day at the start of each Maths lesson. I put three songs on Youtube for the children to listen to whilst completing the tests (the winners from each session then choose the next songs!) and depending on what I assess my class at and the difficulty of the paper, give them an amount of time to complete the page. I then model how to answer each question and the children mark their own. I do not collect the scores up as, at the start of the year, my children were nervous about their scores. However, I now find they are so enthusiastic about sharing their scores as they are proud of what they have achieved! My children absolutely LOVE these and since doing these each day, the results in our termly arithmetic test have significantly improved.
In this resource, there are 100 days worth of 10 arithmetic questions. On each page, there is a set of 10 arithmetic style questions which I have created myself by using the Maths objectives alongside examples of previous Arithmetic questions. These questions are mixed up, as they will be in the test they face next May. This helps the children to apply their knowledge. I have tended to focus on the more challenging questions (e.g. dividing fractions, mixed number subtractions etc…) rather than times tables, as this is what my class needed to ensure they are getting 35+ on every arithmetic paper.
I have also included an Arithmetic loop card game I have created which my children absolutely love!
Reasoning:-
This is a130 slide power-point presentation which I have developed for my class of Y6 children who are finding the Reasoning SATs papers a little tricky!
I was conscious that there is sometimes little room for Reasoning when so much of my lessons were skills based; this also reflected within my assessment papers.
My class now do ‘Maths Rocks’ every morning. Maths Rocks is between 3-7 Reasoning questions which my children complete on a daily basis. I have given them a new Maths Rocks book and they come in each morning with the power-point on the board. Independently, they work through each question. We then go through them together, I model the answer and we discuss any misconceptions. I don’t collect scores in, but the more children become confident with the style of question, the more willing they are to share their scores!
There are 130 pages to this presentation, each with between 3-7 questions on. The questions are a variety of questions about a mixture of subjects to ensure I am reinforcing the children’s learning.

Developed in my role as Maths Lead, a whole school approach to ensuring learning and progression in times tables across school.
Objectives are laid out to start working on number in Reception and aim to ensure that by Year 4 children are fluent with times tables upto 12 x 12. Year 5 and 6 then have extension based on number fluency including squares and primes, fractions and roman numerals.
Includes a class overview sheet and individual record sheets designed to follow children through school.
I have linked this to a reward system where children receive wristbands matching objective colours once they have successfully met all objectives and then passed a final test with myself.

The starter activities referred to I’ve uploaded separately (they’re on a power point). - https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/mental-starters-11805783
This is my own personal planning which I’ll be using in my class in a couple of weeks. Hope you find it useful, it’s not made specifically for TES so there will most likely we some spelling errors etc

This resource uses a concrete – pictorial – abstract approach to help children gain fluency and mastery.
Curriculum links:
Solve problems involving increasingly harder fractions to calculate quantities, and fractions to divide quantities, including non-unit fractions where the answer is a whole number.
Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator.
Your feedback is always welcome x

An example freebie of my self-designed fractions sheets.
If you like this one, please take a look at my shop.
You could but half a million questions on fractions.
Or maybe ones on simplifying fractions, Mixed fractions etc.
Please look for the bundles if you are looking for great value.

This resource supports WRM Year 4 Spring block 3, Number – Fractions. Small Step: Subtracting from whole amounts. It also links to Fluency task 1.
It uses a concrete – pictorial – abstract approach to help children gain fluency and mastery. It is differentiated 2 ways and includes answers.
